The two traditional pentecost pilgrimages had set off today from Paris and Chartres, respectively, more numerous than ever. The vicinity of Paris was then struck by hailstorms and tremendous downpours. The camping sites for the pilgrims could not be used and 15,000 pilgrims were evacuated to other shelters.
The FSSPX pilgrimage (Chartres-Paris) has been cancelled. I do not see any aannouncement yet from Notre-Dame de Chrétienté.
Let us pray for all the pilgrims and the great unforeseen sacrifices they are making!
